The call from Benita's friend Nancy changed her mood, she was confused at the same time.
She rented the house to stay alone, she wanted to use that period of staying alone to fix herself.
But now her pity self is taking over her goals and determination.
Nancy called her, pleading for her to accommodate a friend of hers who was stranded.
She promised her that it was just for a month.
After a few hours of delays, she accepted to accommodate the person.
She prayed in her heart for her not to encounter any drama with the girl because she doesn't need any additional unnecessary problems in her life.
The last experience with her former roommate wasn't pleasant.
Judith moved in to Benita's house after some days of delays.
Benita had some doubt that Judith wasn't stranded, judging by how many days it took her to move in.
Well, that wasn't her issue, as she was even happy to stay more days alone before having to stay with someone.
Some weeks passed with them staying cool and nice.
Benita made sure that Judith was comfortable staying with her.
Though this deprived her of some stuffs, like staying focused on her work.
Because they could talk for hours, distracting her sometimes, but it wasn't much of a concern.
She was in all smiles, it's not bad to stay with someone, she thought to herself.
Some weeks later, she started experiencing some unpleasant moments with Judith.
Judith one day told her that she is a lady with protocol, that she is always worried about how things should be and where it should be.
This made Benita angry at first, but she really didn't take it to heart.
To her, nothing is wrong with keeping things in other, especially in her house with her things.
The next unpleasant moments with Judith were when she was disturbing her to wake up and lead in prayers, even when she knew that Benita was not feeling well.
Maybe she didn't know how seriously sick Benita was because Benita doesn't like pity from people whenever she is sick.
So, she pretends to be strong at times.
It was one drama after another each time.
Some days later, Benita travelled for work.
Work was her main reason for traveling, but strangely, staying away from Judith for some time was part of it.
During her time of work travel, Judith travelled too after weeks of staying alone.
Benita came back days later after Judith travelled to enjoy her house alone.
She counted and realized that Judith had stayed more than the agreed period of time.
She texted her friend Nancy reminding her of their agreement, and told her to inform Judith of her moving out.
Nancy assured her that Judith must have been making plans to move too.
A few days later, Judith showed up at Benita's house, without even informing her that she was coming back that day.
This made Benita so angry, the reason Judith gave her was lame.
She was rushing to come back for something, but she booked a vehicle.
It was an hour 30 minutes journey, those moments it never touched her to at least text Benita and inform her she was on the road...... interesting!
Well, Benita never gave her those welcome home vibes.
She even distanced herself from Judith because she couldn't direct the main reason why Judith behaved like that, though she apologized.
Well, both of them weren't talking much to themselves.
Benita wasn't so concerned about that, it gave her room to concentrate on her work.
Besides, she doesn't owe Judith any friendly gesture anymore.
At her age now, she is not in for making many unreal friends.
Her focus was to look out for herself and stay focus and happy.
Judith drew the line of their relationship, and she wasn't ready to understand what or why, she only believed in her perspective.
Well, it thought her a lesson to know her place in people's lives.
And never expect anything from people, but never allow anybody to make her uncomfortable with her things.
Thank you very much for reading my story.
Please leave your suggestions and thought in the comments section, I really appreciate them.

La llamada de Nancy, la amiga de Benita, le cambi贸 el humor, pero al mismo tiempo la confundi贸.
Alquil贸 la casa para quedarse sola, quer铆a aprovechar ese periodo de quedarse sola para arreglarse.
Pero ahora su autocompasi贸n se est谩 apoderando de sus objetivos y su determinaci贸n.
Nancy la llam贸, rog谩ndole que alojara a una amiga suya que se hab铆a quedado tirada.
Le prometi贸 que s贸lo ser铆a por un mes.
Despu茅s de unas horas de retraso, acept贸 alojar a la persona.
Rez贸 en su coraz贸n para que no tuviera ning煤n drama con la chica porque no necesitaba m谩s problemas innecesarios en su vida.
La 煤ltima experiencia con su antigua compa帽era de piso no fue agradable.
Judith se mud贸 a casa de Benita despu茅s de algunos d铆as de retrasos.
Benita ten铆a dudas de que Judith no estuviera desamparada, a juzgar por los d铆as que tard贸 en mudarse.
Bueno, ese no era su problema, ya que incluso estaba contenta de estar m谩s d铆as sola antes de tener que quedarse con alguien.
Pasaron algunas semanas en las que se mantuvieron frescos y agradables.
Benita se asegur贸 de que Judith se sintiera c贸moda qued谩ndose con ella.
Aunque esto la privaba de algunas cosas, como mantenerse concentrada en su trabajo.
Porque pod铆an hablar durante horas, distray茅ndola a veces, pero no era muy preocupante.
Estaba muy sonriente, no est谩 mal quedarse con alguien, pens贸 para s铆 misma.
Algunas semanas despu茅s, empez贸 a vivir momentos desagradables con Judith.
Un d铆a Judith le dijo que era una se帽ora con protocolo, que siempre estaba preocupada por c贸mo deb铆an ser las cosas y d贸nde deb铆an estar.
Esto enfad贸 a Benita al principio, pero en realidad no se lo tom贸 a pecho.
Para ella, no hay nada malo en guardar las cosas en otro sitio, sobre todo en su casa, con sus cosas.
Los siguientes momentos desagradables con Judith fueron cuando la molestaba para que se despertara y la dirigiera en las oraciones, aun cuando sab铆a que Benita no se sent铆a bien.
Quiz谩s no sab铆a lo grave que estaba Benita porque a Benita no le gusta que la gente se compadezca de ella cuando est谩 enferma.
As铆 que a veces finge ser fuerte.
Era un drama tras otro.
Unos d铆as m谩s tarde, Benita viaj贸 por trabajo.
El trabajo era el principal motivo de su viaje, pero, extra帽amente, alejarse de Judith durante alg煤n tiempo formaba parte de 茅l.
Durante su viaje de trabajo, Judith viaj贸 tambi茅n despu茅s de semanas de quedarse sola.
Benita volvi贸 d铆as despu茅s de que Judith viajara para disfrutar sola de su casa.
Cont贸 y se dio cuenta de que Judith se hab铆a quedado m谩s tiempo del acordado.
Envi贸 un mensaje de texto a su amiga Nancy record谩ndole su acuerdo y le dijo que informara a Judith de su marcha.
Nancy le asegur贸 que Judith tambi茅n deb铆a estar haciendo planes para mudarse.
Unos d铆as despu茅s, Judith se present贸 en casa de Benita, sin avisarle siquiera de que iba a volver ese d铆a.
Esto enfad贸 mucho a Benita, la raz贸n que le dio Judith era poco convincente.
Ten铆a prisa por volver por algo, pero reserv贸 un veh铆culo.
Era una hora y media de viaje, esos momentos nunca le tocaron para al menos enviar un mensaje de texto a Benita e informarle de que estaba en la carretera...... 隆interesante!
Benita nunca le dio esas vibraciones de bienvenida a casa.
Incluso se distanci贸 de Judith porque no pod铆a dirigir la raz贸n principal por la que Judith se comport贸 as铆, aunque se disculp贸.
Ambas no se hablaban mucho.
A Benita eso no le preocupaba tanto, le daba margen para concentrarse en su trabajo.
Adem谩s, ya no le deb铆a a Judith ning煤n gesto amistoso.
A su edad ya no estaba para hacer muchos amigos irreales.
Su objetivo era cuidar de s铆 misma y mantenerse centrada y feliz.
Judith traz贸 la l铆nea de su relaci贸n, y ella no estaba preparada para entender qu茅 o por qu茅, s贸lo cre铆a en su perspectiva.
Bueno, pens贸 en ella como una lecci贸n para conocer su lugar en la vida de las personas.
Y nunca esperar nada de la gente, pero nunca permitir que nadie la haga sentir inc贸moda con sus cosas.
